A EuroBasket final generally monopolizes the editorial line and prevents “parasitic” news from slipping onto the TrashTalk site. But there, a EuroBasket final which concerns the French team certainly monopolizes the editorial line and prevents “parasitic” news from slipping onto the TrashTalk site. And yet, a guy continues to break the rule.
His name is Victor Antoine Wembanyama. We added “Antoine” because it’s always more stylish to develop, but it’s absolutely not one of his first names. This Saturday, while all of France had its eyes riveted on its tomorrow, Victor Wembanyama quietly washed the professionals of Hapoel Holon. Where ? In Angers. In what framework? Always for the Pro Stars tournament. What do we mean by “washed” ? The Golden Boy of the Metropolitans 92 posed 34 points at 10/17 shooting and 13/13 throwing, 5 rebounds, 1 interception and 4 blocks. “Ah, but I had already seen this information two days ago, I close the article”. No unhappy! Thursday evening, Victor Wembanyama had indeed already planted 34 points on Darüşşafaka, a solid Turkish Super Lig club. Remained on Friday evening once morest Le Mans, he got up on Saturday evening to challenge Hapoel Holon, a pro club in the Israeli championship involved in the BCL, the FIBA Europe Cup (rival of the EuroCup, organized by the EuroLeague). Once once more, therefore, it is not a question of amateur players or simple professionals, but of boys who might quietly scratch a top 8 of Betclic Elite. Little video of the “new 34 points” of the Vic just below, and a lot of sequences to record / analyze.
Victor Wembanyama just went off once morest Israel’s reigning champions, Hapoel Holon:
34 Points
10-17 FG

So what is this 13/13 on free throws ? Like us, you must have been hallucinating over the last possessions of the video: just James Harden-style feints, followed by the referees’ whistle. He is only 18 years old and has already understood that from the height of his 2m20 and dust, defenders are forced to move forward, jump or engage forward to hinder his outside shot. One can criticize the substance, but the form is excellently executed. For the rest, this reverse hand finish post-up is still crazy. The impression that next to Victor, interiors of 2m08 are children and that their weight advantage does not bring them… any advantage. To speak in more common language: no, it’s not NBA level yet, but compared to other European players drafted at 19, 20 or 21 – and regardless of his measurements – Victor Wembanyama is ahead. It is not enough to repeat a single move in a loop, alternating perfectly between the outside game and back to the basket. Filmed in courtside, it is even more impressive.

Once is not custom but two are starting to be: Victor Wembanyama has therefore slammed 68 points in his last two pre-season games, once morest opponents referenced on the European courts. Match for butter or not, it’s pretty crazy.
